Babies born in the Covid pandemic 'have lower IQs': Three-month-olds now score around 80 on intelligence tests - compared to 100 before the virus struck, research says

    Brown University researchers found that pandemic babies have 22% lower IQs
    They say less interactions during lockdown has led to the development drop-off
    Boys and children from poorer backgrounds performed worse in cognitive tests

Children born during the Covid pandemic may have lower IQs because of reduced interactions during lockdowns, a study has claimed.

Researchers from Brown University in Rhode Island found babies born since March 2020 have worse cognitive, verbal and motor skills than children who entered the world before coronavirus.

Mean IQs for children aged three months to three years old dropped from around 100 in the decade before the pandemic to 79 during it.

This sounds kind of shaky-dubious, but it is true that in their first year of life babies do a lot of learning by observing. So semi-isolation deprives babies of some of the stimuli by which they learn. :shrug:

There is a lot of stimuli that a newborn and toddler can be exposed to just within the household. Even a single parent can expose them to stimulating sounds; radio, TV, reading aloud to them, friends, neighbors, walks in the park, playgrounds, shopping excursions, etc.

If this is true...the parents were lax at interacting with their baby..It's up to the parents to provide the stimulus to help the baby develop..what were they doing...sitting around feeling sorry for themselves because they couldn't go out to dinner...etc..

The claim that we can measure IQ for a three-month-old is patently ridiculous.

But let's not kid ourselves: once you get to toddler age, interaction with friends, other relatives, family friends and such becomes a greater and greater influence. So if you break that social interaction, you're going to see delays.

An IQ drop of 20 points in the newborn population means a huge increase in the Democrat voter population in 18 years!

Brown University researchers?

Does the left have any researchers at all?

I apply the same consideration to the left that
the left applies to the right?

If their mothers got the vax, I guess we should be surprised the babies were born at all.

IQ tests  given to babies.

All the *science* and *intellectualism* of:
1. Men becoming women,
2.  Women becoming men,
3. Transgender insanity,
4. Biden handing Afghanistan and military billions to the Taliban,
5.  Democrats calling all whites "racist" and exacerbating the divisiveness,
6.  Democrats voting for these two incompetents, a demented crook and a far left whore.

Well we are told that the vax is 'safe for pregnant mothers'....but they somehow failed to mention any effect on the babies.
